Good stuff. Though I think old mother hubbard and my cat are the only living creatures on earth that still believe the official story of 9/11. And thats exactly what it is - a 'story' because theres certainly nothing to back up and PLENTY to prove its a lie.

4. 2.3 trillion dollars of military funding was unaccounted for, according to SECDEF Donald Rumsfeld in a September 10th, 2001 press conference/statement, televised. The people and the databases and the physical files were located *precisely* where the Pentagon impact occurred.

Good find. Thanks for the read.
...
What is the significance of complicating the situation and trying to make the buildings fall? The government could care less about public support, if indeed, a terrorist organization just pummeled a plane into the Pentagon alone.
...
Our financial systems are decades old. According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions. We cannot share information from floor to floor in this building because it's stored on dozens of technological systems that are inaccessible or incompatible.
"According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions," Rumsfeld admitted.
$2.3 trillion — that's $8,000 for every man, woman and child in America. To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant who tried to find out what happened to a mere $300 million.
"We know it's gone. But we don't know what they spent it on," said Jim Minnery, Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Minnery, a former Marine turned whistle-blower, is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets. Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records.
"The director looked at me and said 'Why do you care about this stuff?' It took me aback, you know? My supervisor asking me why I care about doing a good job," said Minnery.
He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off. "They have to cover it up," he said. "That's where the corruption comes in. They have to cover up the fact that they can't do the job."
The Pentagon's Inspector General "partially substantiated" several of Minnery's allegations but could not prove officials tried "to manipulate the financial statements."
Those are good questions. I like to take things one step at a time.
First, did they fall from planes hitting them? My conclusion is "no".
They turned literally to dust.
There was molten steel still burning, weeks after the fact.
Steel beams had been diagonally cut almost with surgical precision.
They fell at nearly a free-fall speed.
That is impossible. Period. It defies the laws of physics.
History has also shown us that burning, steel buildings do NOT collapse. It has never happened.
Next, why? I have a number of theories. My first is, there was evidence in building 7 that needed to be destroyed.
Do your own research on the occupants of building 7. They had to make certain that building came down and was destroyed. But, by itself, it's a tricky proposition. How to destroy it and make it look like a terrorist attack? Wouldn't terrorists go for the tallest buildings first, rather than the shortest one? Of course. So, hitting the twin towers was nothing more than a distraction from building 7. I believe the trillion plus dollars that were "lost" by the Pentagon was getting ready to blow up in somebody's face.
Perhaps some of the big firms in the WTC had their fingers in it somehow and there were whistle-blowers ready to blow the whistle. Because we as Americans are so ignorant and complacent, not another word was said about that "loss". Nothing. There was the news conference with Donald Rumsfeld then it was basically squelched. That is an enormous amount of money! Even for a government, it is a HUGE amount of money. Remember people, they didn't lose their money, they lost our money! Our government misplaced a trillion and a half dollars! In any sane society, that in itself should create an uprising unsurpassed in human history. That amount of money being lost should have riots in the streets in every city in America. But it was swept under the carpet after 9/11 and we never heard another word about it.
My other theory is that the entire WTC complex was hemorrhaging millions or billions of dollars per year and had become a major liability, for numerous reasons. However, they couldn't afford to just demolish them, so they had a shill insure them first, (Larry Silverstein), and then they are out nothing. For a few million dollars, Larry Boy got a payout in the billions. If you think he put that money in his own pocket, you are delusional. Hundreds if not thousands of people lined their pockets with that insurance payout. How many insurance companies have billions of dollars in "cash on hand" to pay out for a claim that large? I would be really curious to know who the insurance company was.
Remember folks, it always leads back to the money. Follow the money and you'll find the reason and motive

You see what you did there??
Just repeating, again, the same crap that any actual pilot (who isn't trying to support the so-called "truth" movement, and their groups....in order to profit off of "conspiracy" believers' gullibility) will tell you is baloney.
And, you believe that hogwash without any logical examination or question???

Which, I hasten to point out, WAS evil on different levels (I.E. Dick Cheney, etc) but in terms of being able to have "pulled this off"??? One word to dispel that myth: "KATRINA"
